the asser levy recreation center is a recreational facility in kips bay, manhattan, new york city, composed of the asser levy public baths and asser levy playground.it is bounded by east 23rd street to the south, east 25th street to the north, and fdr drive to the east.along with the former asser levy place to the west, it was named after asser levy, one of new york city's first jewish citizens and a strong and influential advocate for civil liberties.the asser levy public baths, the recreation center's main building, was designed by arnold w. brunner and martin aiken.its main entrance on asser levy place consists of two large arches flanked by pairs of columns.inside are recreational rooms, a swimming pool, and lockers.it originally had separate waiting rooms and showers for men and women, though the waiting rooms were subsequently combined and the showers relocated.outdoor recreational facilities, including additional swimming pools and the playground, surround the bathhouse.the bathhouse was built in 1905–1908 to alleviate sanitary problems in the city and was transferred to the new york city department of parks and recreation (nyc parks) in 1938.originally known as the east 23rd street baths, it was renamed for levy in the mid-20th century.the building was designated a new york city landmark in 1974 and added to the national register of historic places in 1980.it was restored by nyc parks in 1988–1990, and the other recreational facilities were built in 1993 and 2014.the 2.44-acre (0.99 ha) site is bounded by 23rd street to the south, the va medical center to the west, 25th street to the north, and the fdr drive and the east river to the east.the western side was formerly bounded by asser levy place (originally avenue a), a street between first avenue to the west and fdr drive in the east.asser levy place was removed in 2013.the asser levy public baths, at the southwestern corner of the recreation center, is roughly cross-shaped in plan and measures roughly 163 by 140 feet (50 by 43 m).built in the first decade of the 20th century, it was designed by arnold w. brunner and martin aiken of the shortlived partnership brunner & aiken, although aiken may have been more involved than brunner.the roman revival design was inspired by roman baths and the 'city beautiful' movement.the building was particularly ornate, even in comparison to other new york city bathhouses built in the first decade of the 20th century.other bathhouses were designed to be 'easily recognizable', but lacked 'all outward display of lavishness [...] as it would only keep the poor people away'.the main entrance faces west onto the former path of asser levy place, now part of the recreation center's outdoor facilities.it contains two arches, each flanked by a pair of round columns, that were originally separate entrances for men (northern doors) and women (southern doors).within each arch is a pair of small doors, flanked by scrolled brackets supporting triangular pediments atop each doorway.the remainders of either archway are infilled with a grid of windows containing diagonal muntins, while the archways themselves contain scrolled keystones at their tops.architectural historian robert a. m. stern wrote that the main arches 'were more like portals to a great amphitheatre than frames around doors to a hygienic facility'.between the archways, there is a decorative niche with a fountain, which is topped by the shield of new york city.the top of the facade above the main entrance contains a frieze, a cornice supported by modillions, and an architrave. | asser levy public baths | referencenumber in the national register of historic places | 80002709 | no related information |

the american civil war (april 12, 1861 – may 26, 1865; also known by other names) was a civil war in the united states.it was fought between the union ('the north') and the confederacy ('the south'), the latter formed by states that had seceded.the central cause of the war was the dispute over whether slavery would be permitted to expand into the western territories, leading to more slave states, or be prevented from doing so, which was widely believed would place slavery on a course of ultimate extinction.decades of political controversy over slavery were brought to a head by the victory in the 1860 u.s. presidential election of abraham lincoln, who opposed slavery's expansion into the western territories.an initial seven southern slave states responded to lincoln's victory by seceding from the united states and, in february 1861, forming the confederacy.the confederacy seized u.s. forts and other federal assets within their borders.led by confederate president jefferson davis, the confederacy asserted control over about a third of the u.s. population in eleven of the 34 u.s. states that then existed.four years of intense combat, mostly in the south, ensued.during 1861–1862 in the war's western theater, the union made significant permanent gains—though in the war's eastern theater the conflict was inconclusive.the abolition of slavery became a union war goal on january 1, 1863, when lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation, which declared all slaves in states in rebellion to be free, applying to more than 3.5 million of the 4 million enslaved people in the country.to the west, the union destroyed the confederacy's river navy by the summer of 1862, then much of its western armies, and seized new orleans.the successful 1863 union siege of vicksburg split the confederacy in two at the mississippi river.in 1863, confederate general robert e. lee's incursion north ended at the battle of gettysburg.western successes led to general ulysses s. grant's command of all union armies in 1864.inflicting an ever-tightening naval blockade of confederate ports, the union marshaled resources and manpower to attack the confederacy from all directions.this led to the fall of atlanta in 1864 to union general william tecumseh sherman, followed by his march to the sea.the last significant battles raged around the ten-month siege of petersburg, gateway to the confederate capital of richmond.the confederates abandoned richmond, and on april 9, 1865, lee surrendered to grant following the battle of appomattox court house, setting in motion the end of the war.a wave of confederate surrenders followed.on april 14, just five days after lee's surrender, lincoln was assassinated.as a practical matter, the war ended with the may 26 surrender of the department of the trans-mississippi but the conclusion of the american civil war lacks a clear and precise historical end date.confederate ground forces continued surrendering past the may 26 surrender date until june 23.by the end of the war, much of the south's infrastructure was destroyed, especially its railroads.the confederacy collapsed, slavery was abolished, and four million enslaved black people were freed.the war-torn nation then entered the reconstruction era in an attempt to rebuild the country, bring the former confederate states back into the united states, and grant civil rights to freed slaves.the civil war is one of the most extensively studied and written about episodes in u.s. history.it remains the subject of cultural and historiographical debate.of particular interest is the persisting myth of the lost cause of the confederacy.the american civil war was among the first wars to use industrial warfare. | american civil war | commander | abraham lincoln | the abolition of slavery became a union war goal on january 1, 1863, when lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation, which declared all slaves in states in rebellion to be free, applying to more than 3.5 million of the 4 million enslaved people in the country. |

the american civil war (april 12, 1861 – may 26, 1865; also known by other names) was a civil war in the united states.it was fought between the union ('the north') and the confederacy ('the south'), the latter formed by states that had seceded.the central cause of the war was the dispute over whether slavery would be permitted to expand into the western territories, leading to more slave states, or be prevented from doing so, which was widely believed would place slavery on a course of ultimate extinction.decades of political controversy over slavery were brought to a head by the victory in the 1860 u.s. presidential election of abraham lincoln, who opposed slavery's expansion into the western territories.an initial seven southern slave states responded to lincoln's victory by seceding from the united states and, in february 1861, forming the confederacy.the confederacy seized u.s. forts and other federal assets within their borders.led by confederate president jefferson davis, the confederacy asserted control over about a third of the u.s. population in eleven of the 34 u.s. states that then existed.four years of intense combat, mostly in the south, ensued.during 1861–1862 in the war's western theater, the union made significant permanent gains—though in the war's eastern theater the conflict was inconclusive.the abolition of slavery became a union war goal on january 1, 1863, when lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation, which declared all slaves in states in rebellion to be free, applying to more than 3.5 million of the 4 million enslaved people in the country.to the west, the union destroyed the confederacy's river navy by the summer of 1862, then much of its western armies, and seized new orleans.the successful 1863 union siege of vicksburg split the confederacy in two at the mississippi river.in 1863, confederate general robert e. lee's incursion north ended at the battle of gettysburg.western successes led to general ulysses s. grant's command of all union armies in 1864.inflicting an ever-tightening naval blockade of confederate ports, the union marshaled resources and manpower to attack the confederacy from all directions.this led to the fall of atlanta in 1864 to union general william tecumseh sherman, followed by his march to the sea.the last significant battles raged around the ten-month siege of petersburg, gateway to the confederate capital of richmond.the confederates abandoned richmond, and on april 9, 1865, lee surrendered to grant following the battle of appomattox court house, setting in motion the end of the war.a wave of confederate surrenders followed.on april 14, just five days after lee's surrender, lincoln was assassinated.as a practical matter, the war ended with the may 26 surrender of the department of the trans-mississippi but the conclusion of the american civil war lacks a clear and precise historical end date.confederate ground forces continued surrendering past the may 26 surrender date until june 23.by the end of the war, much of the south's infrastructure was destroyed, especially its railroads.the confederacy collapsed, slavery was abolished, and four million enslaved black people were freed.the war-torn nation then entered the reconstruction era in an attempt to rebuild the country, bring the former confederate states back into the united states, and grant civil rights to freed slaves.the civil war is one of the most extensively studied and written about episodes in u.s. history.it remains the subject of cultural and historiographical debate.of particular interest is the persisting myth of the lost cause of the confederacy.the american civil war was among the first wars to use industrial warfare. | american civil war | commander | abraham lincoln | the abolition of slavery became a union war goal on january 1, 1863, when lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation, which declared all slaves in states in rebellion to be free, applying to more than 3.5 million of the 4 million enslaved people in the country. |

the american civil war (april 12, 1861 – may 26, 1865; also known by other names) was a civil war in the united states.it was fought between the union ('the north') and the confederacy ('the south'), the latter formed by states that had seceded.the central cause of the war was the dispute over whether slavery would be permitted to expand into the western territories, leading to more slave states, or be prevented from doing so, which was widely believed would place slavery on a course of ultimate extinction.decades of political controversy over slavery were brought to a head by the victory in the 1860 u.s. presidential election of abraham lincoln, who opposed slavery's expansion into the western territories.an initial seven southern slave states responded to lincoln's victory by seceding from the united states and, in february 1861, forming the confederacy.the confederacy seized u.s. forts and other federal assets within their borders.led by confederate president jefferson davis, the confederacy asserted control over about a third of the u.s. population in eleven of the 34 u.s. states that then existed.four years of intense combat, mostly in the south, ensued.during 1861–1862 in the war's western theater, the union made significant permanent gains—though in the war's eastern theater the conflict was inconclusive.the abolition of slavery became a union war goal on january 1, 1863, when lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation, which declared all slaves in states in rebellion to be free, applying to more than 3.5 million of the 4 million enslaved people in the country.to the west, the union destroyed the confederacy's river navy by the summer of 1862, then much of its western armies, and seized new orleans.the successful 1863 union siege of vicksburg split the confederacy in two at the mississippi river.in 1863, confederate general robert e. lee's incursion north ended at the battle of gettysburg.western successes led to general ulysses s. grant's command of all union armies in 1864.inflicting an ever-tightening naval blockade of confederate ports, the union marshaled resources and manpower to attack the confederacy from all directions.this led to the fall of atlanta in 1864 to union general william tecumseh sherman, followed by his march to the sea.the last significant battles raged around the ten-month siege of petersburg, gateway to the confederate capital of richmond.the confederates abandoned richmond, and on april 9, 1865, lee surrendered to grant following the battle of appomattox court house, setting in motion the end of the war.a wave of confederate surrenders followed.on april 14, just five days after lee's surrender, lincoln was assassinated.as a practical matter, the war ended with the may 26 surrender of the department of the trans-mississippi but the conclusion of the american civil war lacks a clear and precise historical end date.confederate ground forces continued surrendering past the may 26 surrender date until june 23.by the end of the war, much of the south's infrastructure was destroyed, especially its railroads.the confederacy collapsed, slavery was abolished, and four million enslaved black people were freed.the war-torn nation then entered the reconstruction era in an attempt to rebuild the country, bring the former confederate states back into the united states, and grant civil rights to freed slaves.the civil war is one of the most extensively studied and written about episodes in u.s. history.it remains the subject of cultural and historiographical debate.of particular interest is the persisting myth of the lost cause of the confederacy.the american civil war was among the first wars to use industrial warfare. | bellona | platitude | diplopodic | no related information |
amsterdam airport schiphol (iata: ams, icao: eham), known informally as schiphol airport (dutch: luchthaven schiphol, pronounced [ˌlʏxtɦaːvə(n) ˈsxɪp(ɦ)ɔl; sxɪpˈɦɔl]), is the main international airport of the netherlands.it is located 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) southwest of amsterdam, in the municipality of haarlemmermeer in the province of north holland.it is the world's third busiest airport by international passenger traffic in 2021.with almost 72 million passengers in 2019, it is the third-busiest airport in europe in terms of passenger volume and the busiest in europe in terms of aircraft movements.with an annual cargo tonnage of 1.74 million, it is the 4th busiest in europe.ams covers a total area of 6,887 acres (10.761 sq mi; 2,787 ha) of land.the airport is built on the single-terminal concept: one large terminal split into three departure halls.schiphol is the hub for klm and its regional affiliate klm cityhopper as well as for corendon dutch airlines, martinair, transavia and tui fly netherlands.the airport also serves as a base for easyjet.schiphol opened on 16 september 1916 as a military airbase.the end of the first world war also saw the beginning of civilian use of schiphol airport and the airport eventually lost its military role completely.by 1940, schiphol had four asphalt runways at 45-degree angles.the airport was captured by the german military that same year and renamed fliegerhorst schiphol.the airport was destroyed through bombing but at the end of the war, the airfield was soon rebuilt.in 1949, it was decided that schiphol was to become the primary airport of the netherlands.schiphol airport was voted the best airport in western europe in 2020.in the gothic language, it indicated an area of low lying wetland ('hol' or 'holl') where wood (scip) could be extracted.however, gothic has never been spoken in the netherlands.it also ranks as the world's fifth busiest by international passenger traffic and the world's sixteenth busiest for cargo tonnage.a record 71,706,999 passengers passed through the airport in 2019.schiphol's main competitors in terms of passenger traffic and cargo throughput are london-heathrow, frankfurt, madrid, paris–charles de gaulle and istanbul.in 2019, 70.5% of passengers using the airport flew to and from europe, 10.6% to and from north america and 10.1% to and from asia; cargo volume was mainly between schiphol and asia (46.3%) and north america (17.6%).in 2019, 102 carriers provided a total of 332 destinations on a regular basis.the airport is built as one large terminal (a single-terminal concept), split into three departure halls, which connect again once airside.the most recent of these was completed in 1994 and expanded in 2007 with a new section, called terminal 4, although it is not considered a separate building.a new pier is to be opened in 2019 with a terminal extension planned to be operational by 2023.plans for further terminal and gate expansion exist, including the construction of a separate new terminal between the zwanenburgbaan and polderbaan runways that would end the one-terminal concept.because of intense traffic and high landing fees (due to the limit of 500,000 flights a year), some low-cost carriers decided to move their flights to smaller airports, such as rotterdam the hague airport and eindhoven airport.many low-cost carriers, such as easyjet and ryanair, however, continue to operate at schiphol, using the low-cost h pier.lelystad airport is currently being expanded aimed at accommodating some of the low-cost and leisure flights currently operating out of schiphol, eventually taking up to 45,000 flights a year.to combat noise and pollution complaints from the community in schiphol, amsterdam airport is advocating for a prohibition on private jets, with the aim of minimizing noise and environmental pollution. | neger | feudalization | endocardia | no related information |

andrews county is a county in the u.s. state of texas.it is in west texas and its county seat is andrews.as of the 2020 census, the population was 18,610.the andrews micropolitan statistical area includes all of andrews county.andrews county was created august 21, 1876, from tom green county and organized in 1910.it is named for richard andrews, a soldier of the texas revolution.part of a state governed by provisional governors during nine years of reconstruction because of the state's insurrection during the civil war.part of a state whose people were allowed to vote on a new constitution and fully rejoin the union of the united states of america, with elected representation in the u.s. congress, by an act of president u.s.grant, march 30, 1870.in 1876, the texas legislature repealed the constitution of 1869 replacing it with the current constitution and established andrews county.the county contains many playa lakes, the two largest being baird lake and shafter lake.in the west part of andrews county on the border with new mexico (see the state border issue below), a private company, waste control specialists (wcs), formerly owned by the late harold simmons and headquartered in dallas, texas, operates a 14,000 acres (57 km2) site.the company was awarded a license to dispose of radioactive waste by the tceq in 2009.the permit allows for disposal of radioactive materials such as uranium, plutonium and thorium from commercial power plants, academic institutions and medical schools.the company finished construction on the project in 2011 and began disposing of waste in 2012.there are two radioactive waste landfills at the site.the 30-acre compact site is owned and regulated by the state of texas for use by texas, vermont, and up to 36 other states.the 90-acre federal site is owned by the united states federal government and is used for department of energy and other federal waste.the company employs 130 people or about 1% of the total labor force in andrews and andrews county.for years, there has been a simmering dispute over which state these waste sites are lawfully a part of: texas or new mexico?the straight north–south border between the two states was originally defined as the 103rd meridian, but the 1859 survey that was supposed to mark that boundary mistakenly set the border between 2.29 and 3.77 miles too far west of that line, making the waste control specialists waste sites, which are west of the 103rd meridian, along with the current towns of farwell, texline, and part of glenrio, appear to be within the state of texas.new mexico's short border with oklahoma, in contrast, was surveyed on the correct meridian.new mexico's draft constitution in 1910 stated that the border is on the 103rd meridian as intended.the disputed strip, hundreds of miles long, includes parts of valuable oilfields of the permian basin.a bill was passed in the new mexico senate to fund and file a lawsuit in the u.s. supreme court to recover the strip from texas, but the bill did not become law.today, land in the strip is included in texas land surveys and the waste sites for all purposes are taxed and governed by andrews

andrews county is a county in the u.s. state of texas.it is in west texas and its county seat is andrews.as of the 2020 census, the population was 18,610.the andrews micropolitan statistical area includes all of andrews county.andrews county was created august 21, 1876, from tom green county and organized in 1910.it is named for richard andrews, a soldier of the texas revolution.part of a state governed by provisional governors during nine years of reconstruction because of the state's insurrection during the civil war.part of a state whose people were allowed to vote on a new constitution and fully rejoin the union of the united states of america, with elected representation in the u.s. congress, by an act of president u.s.grant, march 30, 1870.in 1876, the texas legislature repealed the constitution of 1869 replacing it with the current constitution and established andrews county.the county contains many playa lakes, the two largest being baird lake and shafter lake.in the west part of andrews county on the border with new mexico (see the state border issue below), a private company, waste control specialists (wcs), formerly owned by the late harold simmons and headquartered in dallas, texas, operates a 14,000 acres (57 km2) site.the company was awarded a license to dispose of radioactive waste by the tceq in 2009.the permit allows for disposal of radioactive materials such as uranium, plutonium and thorium from commercial power plants, academic institutions and medical schools.the company finished construction on the project in 2011 and began disposing of waste in 2012.there are two radioactive waste landfills at the site.the 30-acre compact site is owned and regulated by the state of texas for use by texas, vermont, and up to 36 other states.the 90-acre federal site is owned by the united states federal government and is used for department of energy and other federal waste.the company employs 130 people or about 1% of the total labor force in andrews and andrews county.for years, there has been a simmering dispute over which state these waste sites are lawfully a part of: texas or new mexico?the straight north–south border between the two states was originally defined as the 103rd meridian, but the 1859 survey that was supposed to mark that boundary mistakenly set the border between 2.29 and 3.77 miles too far west of that line, making the waste control specialists waste sites, which are west of the 103rd meridian, along with the current towns of farwell, texline, and part of glenrio, appear to be within the state of texas.new mexico's short border with oklahoma, in contrast, was surveyed on the correct meridian.new mexico's draft constitution in 1910 stated that the border is on the 103rd meridian as intended.the disputed strip, hundreds of miles long, includes parts of valuable oilfields of the permian basin.a bill was passed in the new mexico senate to fund and file a lawsuit in the u.s. supreme court to recover the strip from texas, but the bill did not become law.today, land in the strip is included in texas land surveys and the waste sites for all purposes are taxed and governed by andrews county and the state of texas.79.5% were white, 1.5% black or african american, 1.0% native american, 0.6% asian, 15.5% of some other race and 2.0% of two or more races.48.7% were hispanic or latino (of any race).as of the census of 2000, there were 13,004 people, 4,601 households, and 3,519 families living in the county.the population density was 9 people per square mile (3/km2). | sibilated | prognosed | mollycoddles | no related information |

the asser levy recreation center is a recreational facility in kips bay, manhattan, new york city, composed of the asser levy public baths and asser levy playground.it is bounded by east 23rd street to the south, east 25th street to the north, and fdr drive to the east.along with the former asser levy place to the west, it was named after asser levy, one of new york city's first jewish citizens and a strong and influential advocate for civil liberties.the asser levy public baths, the recreation center's main building, was designed by arnold w. brunner and martin aiken.its main entrance on asser levy place consists of two large arches flanked by pairs of columns.inside are recreational rooms, a swimming pool, and lockers.it originally had separate waiting rooms and showers for men and women, though the waiting rooms were subsequently combined and the showers relocated.outdoor recreational facilities, including additional swimming pools and the playground, surround the bathhouse.the bathhouse was built in 1905–1908 to alleviate sanitary problems in the city and was transferred to the new york city department of parks and recreation (nyc parks) in 1938.originally known as the east 23rd street baths, it was renamed for levy in the mid-20th century.the building was designated a new york city landmark in 1974 and added to the national register of historic places in 1980.it was restored by nyc parks in 1988–1990, and the other recreational facilities were built in 1993 and 2014.the 2.44-acre (0.99 ha) site is bounded by 23rd street to the south, the va medical center to the west, 25th street to the north, and the fdr drive and the east river to the east.the western side was formerly bounded by asser levy place (originally avenue a), a street between first avenue to the west and fdr drive in the east.asser levy place was removed in 2013.the asser levy public baths, at the southwestern corner of the recreation center, is roughly cross-shaped in plan and measures roughly 163 by 140 feet (50 by 43 m).built in the first decade of the 20th century, it was designed by arnold w. brunner and martin aiken of the shortlived partnership brunner & aiken, although aiken may have been more involved than brunner.the roman revival design was inspired by roman baths and the 'city beautiful' movement.the building was particularly ornate, even in comparison to other new york city bathhouses built in the first decade of the 20th century.other bathhouses were designed to be 'easily recognizable', but lacked 'all outward display of lavishness [...] as it would only keep the poor people away'.the main entrance faces west onto the former path of asser levy place, now part of the recreation center's outdoor facilities.it contains two arches, each flanked by a pair of round columns, that were originally separate entrances for men (northern doors) and women (southern doors).within each arch is a pair of small doors, flanked by scrolled brackets supporting triangular pediments atop each doorway.the remainders of either archway are infilled with a grid of windows containing diagonal muntins, while the archways themselves contain scrolled keystones at their tops.architectural historian robert a. m. stern wrote that the main arches 'were more like portals to a great amphitheatre than frames around doors to a hygienic facility'.between the archways, there is a decorative niche with a fountain, which is topped by the shield of new york city.the top of the facade above the main entrance contains a frieze, a cornice supported by modillions, and an architrave. | obliging | embolomerous | daschagga <tsp> obliging | laboursaving | haemagglutinated | no related information |

augustus welby northmore pugin ( pew-jin; 1 march 1812 – 14 september 1852) was an english architect, designer, artist and critic with french and swiss origins.he is principally remembered for his pioneering role in the gothic revival style of architecture.his work culminated in designing the interior of the palace of westminster in westminster, london, and its iconic clock tower, later renamed the elizabeth tower, which houses the bell known as big ben.pugin designed many churches in england, and some in ireland and australia.he was the son of auguste pugin, and the father of edward welby pugin and peter paul pugin, who continued his architectural firm as pugin & pugin.pugin was born on 1 march 1812 at his parents' house in bloomsbury, london, england.between 1821 and 1838, pugin's father published a series of volumes of architectural drawings, the first two entitled specimens of gothic architecture and the following three examples of gothic architecture, that not only remained in print but were the standard references for gothic architecture for at least the next century.pugin quickly rebelled against this version of christianity: according to benjamin ferrey, pugin 'always expressed unmitigated disgust at the cold and sterile forms of the scottish church; and the moment he broke free from the trammels imposed on him by his mother, he rushed into the arms of a church which, pompous by its ceremonies, was attractive to his imaginative mind'.after leaving school, he worked in his father's office, and in 1825 and 1827 accompanied him on visits to france.his first commissions independent of his father were for designs for the goldsmiths rundell and bridge, and for designs for furniture of windsor castle from the upholsterers morel and seddon.through a contact made while working at windsor, he became interested in the design of theatrical scenery, and in 1831 obtained a commission to design the sets for the production of the new opera kenilworth at the royal opera house, covent garden.he also developed an interest in sailing, and briefly commanded a small merchant schooner trading between great britain and holland, which allowed him to import examples of furniture and carving from flanders, with which he later furnished his house at ramsgate in kent.during one voyage in 1830, he was wrecked on the scottish coast near leith, as a result of which he came into contact with edinburgh architect james gillespie graham, who advised him to abandon seafaring for architecture.he then established a business supplying historically accurate carved wood and stone detailing for the increasing number of buildings being constructed in the gothic revival style, but the enterprise quickly failed.she died a few months later in childbirth, leaving him a daughter.he had a further six children, including the future architect edward welby pugin, with his second wife, louisa burton, who died in 1844.his third wife, jane knill, kept a journal of their marital life, from their marriage in 1848 to pugin's death, which was later published.their son was the architect peter paul pugin.on this he built a gothic revival-style house for his family, which he named st. marie's grange.of it, charles eastlake said 'he had not yet learned the art of combining a picturesque exterior with the ordinary comforts of an english home.'for example, dissenters could not take degrees at the established universities of oxford and cambridge until 1871, but the university of london (later renamed university college london) was founded near pugin's birthplace in 1826 with the express purpose of educating dissenters to degree standard (although it would not be able to confer degrees until 1836). | liegeman | sarcophagous | nonformal <tsp> liegeman | antigambling | presphenoidal | no related information |

augustus welby northmore pugin ( pew-jin; 1 march 1812 – 14 september 1852) was an english architect, designer, artist and critic with french and swiss origins.he is principally remembered for his pioneering role in the gothic revival style of architecture.his work culminated in designing the interior of the palace of westminster in westminster, london, and its iconic clock tower, later renamed the elizabeth tower, which houses the bell known as big ben.pugin designed many churches in england, and some in ireland and australia.he was the son of auguste pugin, and the father of edward welby pugin and peter paul pugin, who continued his architectural firm as pugin & pugin.pugin was born on 1 march 1812 at his parents' house in bloomsbury, london, england.between 1821 and 1838, pugin's father published a series of volumes of architectural drawings, the first two entitled specimens of gothic architecture and the following three examples of gothic architecture, that not only remained in print but were the standard references for gothic architecture for at least the next century.pugin quickly rebelled against this version of christianity: according to benjamin ferrey, pugin 'always expressed unmitigated disgust at the cold and sterile forms of the scottish church; and the moment he broke free from the trammels imposed on him by his mother, he rushed into the arms of a church which, pompous by its ceremonies, was attractive to his imaginative mind'.after leaving school, he worked in his father's office, and in 1825 and 1827 accompanied him on visits to france.his first commissions independent of his father were for designs for the goldsmiths rundell and bridge, and for designs for furniture of windsor castle from the upholsterers morel and seddon.through a contact made while working at windsor, he became interested in the design of theatrical scenery, and in 1831 obtained a commission to design the sets for the production of the new opera kenilworth at the royal opera house, covent garden.he also developed an interest in sailing, and briefly commanded a small merchant schooner trading between great britain and holland, which allowed him to import examples of furniture and carving from flanders, with which he later furnished his house at ramsgate in kent.during one voyage in 1830, he was wrecked on the scottish coast near leith, as a result of which he came into contact with edinburgh architect james gillespie graham, who advised him to abandon seafaring for architecture.he then established a business supplying historically accurate carved wood and stone detailing for the increasing number of buildings being constructed in the gothic revival style, but the enterprise quickly failed.she died a few months later in childbirth, leaving him a daughter.he had a further six children, including the future architect edward welby pugin, with his second wife, louisa burton, who died in 1844.his third wife, jane knill, kept a journal of their marital life, from their marriage in 1848 to pugin's death, which was later published.their son was the architect peter paul pugin.on this he built a gothic revival-style house for his family, which he named st. marie's grange.of it, charles eastlake said 'he had not yet learned the art of combining a picturesque exterior with the ordinary comforts of an english home.'for example, dissenters could not take degrees at the established universities of oxford and cambridge until 1871, but the university of london (later renamed university college london) was founded near pugin's birthplace in 1826 with the express purpose of educating dissenters to degree standard (although it would not be able to confer degrees until 1836). | misadvice | repopulated | trindling | no related information |

australia, officially the commonwealth of australia, is a sovereign country comprising the mainland of the australian continent, the island of tasmania, and numerous smaller islands.australia is the largest country by area in oceania and the world's sixth-largest country.australia is the oldest, flattest, and driest inhabited continent, with the least fertile soils.it is a megadiverse country, and its size gives it a wide variety of landscapes and climates, with deserts in the centre, tropical rainforests in the north-east, tropical savannas in the north, and mountain ranges in the south-east.the ancestors of aboriginal australians began arriving from south-east asia approximately 65,000 years ago, during the last ice age.arriving by sea, they settled the continent and had formed approximately 250 distinct language groups by the time of european settlement, maintaining some of the longest known continuing artistic and religious traditions in the world.australia's written history commenced with the european maritime exploration of australia.the dutch navigator willem janszoon was the first known european to reach australia, in 1606.in 1770, the british explorer james cook mapped and claimed the east coast of australia for great britain, and the first fleet of british ships arrived at sydney in 1788 to establish the penal colony of new south wales.the european population grew in subsequent decades, and by the end of the 1850s gold rush, most of the continent had been explored by european settlers and an additional five self-governing british colonies established.democratic parliaments were gradually established through the 19th century, culminating with a vote for the federation of the six colonies and foundation of the commonwealth of australia on 1 january 1901.this began a process of increasing autonomy from the united kingdom, highlighted by the statute of westminster adoption act 1942, and culminating in the australia act 1986.australia is a federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy, comprising six states and ten territories.australia's population of nearly 27 million is highly urbanised and heavily concentrated on the eastern seaboard.canberra is the nation's capital, while its most populous city and financial centre is sydney.the next four largest cities are melbourne, brisbane, perth, and adelaide.it is ethnically diverse and multicultural, the product of large-scale immigration, with almost half of the population having one parent born overseas.australia's abundant natural resources and well-developed international trade relations are crucial to the country's economy, which generates its income from various sources including services, mining exports, banking, manufacturing, agriculture and international education.australia ranks amongst the highest in the world for quality of life, health, education, economic freedom, civil liberties and political rights.australia has a highly developed market economy and one of the highest per capita incomes globally.australia is a regional power, and has the world's thirteenth-highest military expenditure.it is a member of international groupings including the united nations; the g20; the oecd; the world trade organization; asia-pacific economic cooperation; the pacific islands forum; the pacific community the commonwealth of nations; and the defence/security organisations anzus, aukus, and the five eyes.it is a major non-nato ally of the united states.several sixteenth century cartographers used the word australia on maps, but not to identify modern australia.when europeans began visiting and mapping australia in the 17th century, the name terra australiscode: lat promoted to code: la was naturally applied to the new territories.until the early 19th century, australia was best known as new holland, a name first applied by the dutch explorer abel tasman in 1644 (as nieuw-hollandcode: nld promoted to code: nl ) and subsequently anglicised.terra australiscode: lat promoted to code: la still saw occasional usage, such as in scientific texts. | meng | adenostoma | stateroom <tsp> meng | brownistic | badass | no related information |
birmingham ( (listen) bur-ming-əm) is a city and metropolitan borough in the metropolitan county of west midlands in england.it is the second-largest city in the united kingdom with a population of 1.145 million in the city proper, 2.92 million in the west midlands metropolitan county, and approximately 4.3 million in the wider metropolitan area.it is the largest uk metropolitan area outside of london.birmingham is commonly referred to as the second city of the united kingdom.located in the west midlands region of england, approximately 100 miles (160 km) from london, birmingham is considered to be the social, cultural, financial and commercial centre of the midlands.distinctively, birmingham only has small rivers flowing through it, mainly the river tame and its tributaries river rea and river cole – one of the closest main rivers is the severn, approximately 20 miles (32 km) west of the city centre.historically a market town in warwickshire in the medieval period, birmingham grew during the 18th century during the midlands enlightenment and during the industrial revolution, which saw advances in science, technology and economic development, producing a series of innovations that laid many of the foundations of modern industrial society.by 1791, it was being hailed as 'the first manufacturing town in the world'.birmingham's distinctive economic profile, with thousands of small workshops practising a wide variety of specialised and highly skilled trades, encouraged exceptional levels of creativity and innovation; this provided an economic base for prosperity that was to last into the final quarter of the 20th century.the watt steam engine was invented in birmingham.the resulting high level of social mobility also fostered a culture of political radicalism which, under leaders from thomas attwood to joseph chamberlain, was to give it a political influence unparalleled in britain outside london and a pivotal role in the development of british democracy.from the summer of 1940 to the spring of 1943, birmingham was bombed heavily by the german luftwaffe in what is known as the birmingham blitz.the damage done to the city's infrastructure, in addition to a deliberate policy of demolition and new building by planners, led to extensive urban regeneration in subsequent decades.birmingham's economy is now dominated by the service sector.the city is a major international commercial centre and an important transport, retail, events and conference hub.its metropolitan economy is the second-largest in the united kingdom with a gdp of $121.1bn (2014).its five universities, including the university of birmingham, make it the largest centre of higher education in the country outside london.birmingham's major cultural institutions – the city of birmingham symphony orchestra, birmingham royal ballet, birmingham repertory theatre, library of birmingham and barber institute of fine arts – enjoy international reputations, and the city has vibrant and influential grassroots art, music, literary and culinary scenes.the city also successfully hosted the 2022 commonwealth games.in 2021, birmingham was the third most visited city in the uk by people from foreign nations.beorma, after whom the tribe was named, could have been its leader at the time of the anglo-saxon settlement, a shared ancestor, or a mythical tribal figurehead.place names ending in -ingahām are characteristic of primary settlements established during the early phases of anglo-saxon colonisation of an area, suggesting that birmingham was probably in existence by the early 7th century at the latest.surrounding settlements with names ending in -tūn ('farm'), -lēah ('woodland clearing'), -worð ('enclosure') and -field ('open ground') are likely to be secondary settlements created by the later expansion of the anglo-saxon population, in some cases possibly on earlier british sites.the many burnt mounds that can still be seen around the city indicate that modern humans first intensively settled and cultivated the area during the bronze age, when a substantial but short-lived influx of population occurred between 1700 bc and 1000 bc, possibly caused by conflict or immigration in the surrounding area. | pourquoi | hiation | bimucronate <tsp> pourquoi | unfelon | admonisher | no related information |
